Medical Description
Metrogyl 60 suspension is an antibiotic medicine primarily used to treat infections caused by bacteria and parasites throughout your body. Its active ingredient is metronidazole, which is used to treat various infections affecting the skin, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, intestines, joints, bones, and private parts. It is also a common treatment for dental infections. Your doctor may prescribe Metrogyl 60 suspension to help prevent infection after surgery.
Metronidazole, the active ingredient in Metrogyl 60 suspension, is classified as an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent. It works by entering the cells of the infection-causing microorganisms, such as bacteria and protozoa, where it produces free radicals. These free radicals damage the cells and DNA of harmful organisms, ultimately killing them and clearing the infection. This mechanism of action helps to ensure that the medication effectively targets and eliminates the source of the illness.
When taking Metrogyl 60 suspension, you must follow the directions for use precisely as instructed by your doctor. It is essential to shake the bottle well before each use and use a measuring cup, spoon, or dropper to ensure you take the exact prescribed quantity. You should not stop taking Metrogyl 60 suspension on your own, even if you begin to feel better, as prematurely discontinuing the medicine can lead to treatment failure, a recurrence of the infection, and potential side effects. Completing the full course of treatment is crucial for effectively eliminating the infection.
You should be cautious about possible interactions when taking Metrogyl 60 suspension. It is important to inform your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbal preparations you are currently taking. Do not consume alcohol while on this medicine and for at least 48 hours after finishing the course, as this can cause unpleasant side effects like nausea, vomiting, and headaches. If you have a liver problem, are on dialysis, or suffer from nervous system or blood disorders, you should discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.
Flagyl suspension also has metronidazole as its active ingredient.
